Snugsabug - the baby portable bed/secure device

ABSTRACT

A baby portable bed and secure device, snugsabug, for keeping baby in position while asleep or laying.

This invention relates to a device for keeping babies snug and in position whilst asleep or laying down.

Great care is to be taken not to allow babies to roll over whilst laying down or asleep. This would usually cause babies difficulty in breathing if their faces are smothered by fabric or mattress they are lying on. They also become distressed and uncomfortable.

By using a Snugsabug, baby is kept in a secure position at the same time being snug and comfortable and rolling over is prevented.

An example of the invention will now be described by referring to the accompanying drawings:

FIG. 1—1 shows the Snugsabug logo.

-   -   2, 4 and 6 are foam tubing inserts covered by fabric that form         bumpers and kept rigid in place by stitching on the fabric.     -   7 shows the channel of stitching on the left and right side,         that allows the movement of the foam bumpers up or down—but is         kept to a maximum position 3.     -   3 shows how this maximum stop position is made possible by         stitching horizontally across. This stop position prevents the         bumpers 6 and 4 from going to high above baby's shoulder but         leaves a gap for baby's head.     -   The overall dimension 100 cm×60 cm.

FIG. 2—shows the side view of the invention.

-   -   1—Shows the top foam bumper which would be just above baby's         head.     -   2—Shows the side foam bumper.     -   3—Shows the fabric covering.

Note the gap between 2 and 1 which represents a space for baby's head.

FIG. 3—shows the bottom view of the snugsabug.

FIGS. 4 a and 4 b shows how to Narrow and how to Widen the snugsabug depending on baby's size.

To make narrow, you twist the left hand side (as you look at it) bumper anti-clockwise and twist clockwise the right hand side bumper.

To widen you twist the left hand side bumper clockwise and twist the right hand side bumper anti-clockwise. 

1. A baby portable bed/secure device, Snugsabug, made mainly of fabric for keeping baby in position when laying or sleeping thus preventing baby from rolling.
 2. A baby portable bed/secure device, Snugsabug, according to claim 1 in which two side bumpers made of foam rotate clockwise and anti-clockwise.
 3. A baby portable bed/secure device, Snugsabug, according to claim 2 in which the foam bumper is able to slide up and down along a channel of stitching up to a maximum point—this maximum point is made possible by horizontal stitching.
 4. A baby portable bed/secure device, Snugsabug, in which the stitching channel and stop point allows the bumper to reach no higher than baby's shoulder to allow a gap between the side foam bumper and top foam bumper.
 5. A baby portable bed/secure device, Snugsabug, according to claim 4 in which the top bumper can rotate towards baby's head thus creating a gap for baby's head to be free.
 6. A baby portable bed/secure device, Snugsabug, that is fully portable.
 7. A baby portable bed/secure device, Snugsabug, that is fully adjustable.
